(Springfield, IL) — Governor Rauner sought to embarrass House Speaker Michael Madigan today, saying that his call for the House to be away from Springfield until April 4 is a “dereliction of duty.” Rauner blasted Madigan for not having his members in session to address the crises facing schools, human services and other programs caused by the budget impasse. Rauner has the power to call the House in session himself if Madigan doesn’t, but Rauner said that hasn’t worked for previous governors.
